    The key feature of RFID technology is the ability for an RFID-tagged object to be tracked instantly from anywhere in the world, provided that a reader is in range. ePassports contain RFID chips.

    Simple solution to avoid all this is to microwave your credit cards, passport etc, then smash the chips with a hammer and then wrap it in AluFoil :lol:

    Would work better with our plastic money - easier to embed the antenna

    if we turn off our 'location' feature on our iphone, will the photo still have GPS coordinates?

    Shouldn't as GPS is only linked to location... but you never know with those crafty people at Apple. Bottom right of the photo album should say 'places' and it shows all the places where you've taken photos.

    I tried to find my house using the coordinates from the EXIF data, wasnt as easy as I thought it would be. When I got it, it was a good 200m from my where I had taken the photo. In the middle of the city, that info is not particularly useful to anyone.

    The phone has to ask the user explicitly for access to the GPS function (or 'Location Services', on an iPhone or similar device). You can grant or deny that access. But either way, people would be aware, as the phone explicitly brings it to their attention and forces them to choose whether or not to allow it.

    On iOS, it's neither on nor off by default. The user is forced to allow/deny the first time they use the camera app (or, for that matter, any app that requests access to the GPS). They can subsequently change the setting in Location Services under Settings.

    The exception is if the user has already completely turned off Location Services altogether. Then no app will have access to the GPS and, in fact, won't even prompt you for it.

    If you turn off the location feature on your iPhone, FUTURE photos you take will not have the GPS coordinates in the EXIF data. However, turning off location services will NOT remove that data if it has already been embedded into previously-taken photos. You can strip out this information on your computer easily enough though.

    Note also that you don't have to turn off Location Services altogether on your phone, just turn it off for the Photos/Camera apps.

    ^^^Do you have any special tinfoil hats for those of us who drink fluoridated water on a daily basis? :lol:

    While that is correct, there's no mention of EXIF data or GPS co-ordinates being stored on each individual photo. It mentions 'Maps and other apps' and I would see the camera as a function of the iPhone, not an app.

    When I was setting up my iThings, I understood the need for this service for apps like FourSquare but would never have thought it was linked to the camera as it's totally unnecessary.

    No power in a passport to run a GPS chip. No GPS Antenna. No power to re-transmit relevant data back to big brother. No power or RAM capacity to write years of tracking data while your passport sits in your drawer. What you are proposing is simply impossible, impractical and pointless.

    today, is the 10 cents a ball, meat balls stacking day.

    IKEA Tampines's cafe is packed with customers, some of whom were spotted buying meatballs in the hundreds and packing them home for their family and friends in large containers.

    IKEA's iconic Swedish meatball dish sells for just $1 for a plate of ten today.

    The special price follows the item's reintroduction to IKEA menus, after it was pulled due to concerns that they and other products may have been contaminated with horse meat.

    IKEA has since announced that their tests have found no traces of horse meat in their products.

    STOMPer Malcolm wrote:

    "Singaporean aunties has turned out in drove to show their support to IKEA by buying meatballs in the hundreds and bringing them home for their family and friends.

    "We salute these aunties for their dedication."

    "People are queuing and storing them in large container boxes. It's happening now at IKEA. This is at the Tampines Branch."
